Mommy Cards, deluxe

who commented: swirls for sarah is my favorite style. I would use them to connect to other mothers at school and dance classes.

I've noticed a zillion "mommy cards" online in recent months but these, from the aptly-named Mommy Cards are certainly the most beautiful. The colors are lovely and the typography is well thought out, too– something that is lacking on many of the other mommy card brands I've seen. Imagine how sophisticated you'll look whipping one of these out at the park or preschool! (I wouldn't even mind dropping one of these in amongst all the "official" business cards…) They look so good, in fact, they might actually encourage you to get out there and meet new people.

I like the "green branch" style best. This would be great when you run into someone and want to give them your contact info without digging through your purse & writing on a receipt while juggling child(ren)!

I love the rose petal ones. I'd use them for when I'm out with my daughter and we just run into a mom with a child we seem to hit it off with but it's awkward to just be like 'can I have your number?'. This would be easier to say 'hey, if you want to set up a playdate give me a call or email'.

I like the swirls for sarah and the green branch designs. I would use them exactly as they are intened...to pass on my info to other moms at the parks and playgroups. It's amazing how often it comes up!

I like the 'Swirls for Sarah' cards also. I would use them as call me cards to give out to other moms, but also as blog calling cards to give out when I have a giveaway, or just to spread the word about my blog. Great giveaway, thanks!

My favorite design is the yellow branch - but they are all super cute!! I would actually gift them to a friend that has been helping me a TON lately with special projects. She would adore these and is super active with her kids. I can imagine her using them everywhere. laurachilton {at} hotmail {dot} com

I love the Olivia Brown design. I meet a lot of mommies at Gymboree, and even though we get along in class, it seems hard to make the transition to outside of class. Maybe I can use these to start a conversation with them about the cards, and then try to set up a playdate! Thanks so much!

It's a toss up - I really enjoy the blue branch one, but the swirly one is so unexpected... I really need to get out of my house and meet people and with the huge baby boom in town right now - they would be perfect! I love them!

I like the Olivia Brown ones the best. I'd love to have these to hand out to people I meet around town. I often find myself running into old friends and this would be a great and easy way to pass along our new information.

Wow. These are awesome. So beautiful. I like so many designs, but my fave is the olivia brown. I would totally use these when I want to give someone my info and don't want to write it on a napkin with a crayon!thanks

I'm the mom to a preemie and when I meet a mom and her baby/child that I really associate with these cards would be great to give out so we can get together for playdates and such. I love the green branch cards!Thankspalmersf(at)bellsouth(dot)net

My favorite is the Swirls for Sarah, since red is my favorite color! But I also love the olivia Brown! Thanks for the chance to win a set...I have really been wanting some of these!sblilly14(@)yahoo(.)com

I love the olivia brown or the blue branch...I have 4 kids so I am always handing out our info - and how uber-professional would I be handing out my number on one of these (instead of a gum wrapper...)!

Ooooohhh... I love the OLIVIA BROWN design! These Mommy Cards would come in really handy at the playground this summer! As the Assistant Coordinator of our local MOPS group, it'd be wonderful to quickly share my contact information with new moms!

I like the green branch the best. I'm on a big green kick lately for some reason. These would be great for when you drop your kids off for a play date or even if someone drops their kid off for a playdate. Much more fashionable than a sticky note.

Olivia Brown and Swirls for Sarah are so super adorable! I often meet other mommys at the park or at storytime. When I meet a mom whose kids seem to get along with mom, I would like to initiate a future playdate, but it's inevitable that I never have a pen or paper, so these would be perfect!!

A stay-at-home mom can only eat so many peanut butter sandwiches before she has to find odd jobs for extra money! I need some mommy cards, like "robin", so I can pull some baby-watching and house cleaning gigs! Not to mention all the playdates I'm missing out on!

I really love the Olivia Brown cards - they just look like my style. I would use them for all the times I am digging in my purse trying to find a pen to write down my contact info for another mom, a business associate, a friend, a new acquaintance. They would be awesome!

I would sooo use these! The Blue Branch is adorable... they would def. come in handy for me. I got laid off recently, and decided to stay home with my daughter, but setting up playdates with the kids at the park is so awkward, and their moms never call anyhow... at least this might make us stand out! emtmara@hotmail.com

What a clever idea! The olivia brown is my favorite. I am awful at meeting other parents and exchanging information for playdates. Now that I am a stay-at-home mom, I really need to get better at it. These cards would help make it easier for me.
